8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 4: Hey, Merry Christmas Eve, everybody. I'm so excited. Well, I

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,200

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 4: home with my family that I have not seen in

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 4: it seems like years. So I'm excited about Christmas. I

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 4: don't even care about gifts this year, honestly, Like, does

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 4: that happen as you get older?

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: I suppose I still am excited about I guess I'm

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: more so excited about the gifts that I'm going to

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: be giving to other people than I am about the

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: gifts that I'm going to be receiving.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: I think that happens as you get older.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 4: I literally saw TikTok and is like, I'm so hard

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: to get presents for because when I want something, I

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: just go get it myself. Like I remember growing up,

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 4: if you wanted something, you would maybe sometimes save it

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: for Christmas or save it for your birthday. But now me,

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, I want it now. I'm buying it

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: right this second, right this minute. So even my sister's like,

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 4: what do you want for Christmas? Like you're so hard

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: to shop for, and I'm like, I don't, girl, I

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: don't want nothing, Like I don't want a thing. I

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: don't even have a Christmas list this year.

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: Surprisingly, Oh, I am so anti namicing a Christmas list

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: because people are going to get you stuff anyways. No,

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: whether you make the Christmas list or not, people are

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: going to buy you gifts my birthday.

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: That's how I feel about birthdays.

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: I'd rather you not waste your money and just buy

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: me stupid stuff that I don't want or need. Then,

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: like me make a list of things I actually want

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: to need, and you can pick off of that. Like

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: it's not crazy stuff, even small stuff that I don't

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: buy for myself that I forget about, Like I need

42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: all new matching talks. I need like bras and underwear.

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: Is that match I need? Like little things. I need

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: a new Apple watch because mine broke.

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: Like I put stuff like that and then people can

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: get you gifts that you actually want.

47
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: I think what I told my sister to get me

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: was a keyboard for my iPad. I think that's what

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: I want. I'm like I would just I mean Amazon,

50
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: Amazon is a tap away, but you know, I was like,

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: you know what, you can get me that for Christmas.

52
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: But I still haven't even sent her the one that

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: I want. But I'm like, you know what, I don't

54
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: even want nothing. But it's so funny because now everybody

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: my family is like eighteen up, so we don't. You know,

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: when everybody's little, you get everybody like their gifts and whatever.

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: But now that we're all older, we all just we

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: do secrets, Sanda in our family. So one person is

59
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: assigned one Yeah, one person is just assigned one person

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: and you just get that one person a gift. And

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: that's what we do in our house now.

62
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: Well.

63
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: Also as you get older, people want more expensive stuff,

64
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: but people don't want like of Arbie Doll.

65
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: That's our leg actually.

66
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: Lego. First of all, I went to the I went

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 4: to the mall on Black Friday. And anybody who said

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: that Black Friday was done for lied because the mall

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: was packed, Like there were so many people in the

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: mall I believe the propaganda online that nobody's going Black

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: Friday shopping, nobody's spending money on Black Friday. So like, okay,

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna run into the mall for a quick second. Girl.

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: It was crowded in there. I went to Alo. I

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: got my first Alo workout clothes for Black Friday. But anyway,

75
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: my point was the Lego store. The line was around

76
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: the corner in the mall to go get all adults,

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: and I'm going to get some of them the benefit

78
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: of the doubt, maybe getting them for their kids. But

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: I've seen more adults build Legos than children.

80
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: To build a Lego. Ye, so good at Legos.

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: She's she's built like the Hall and the White House,

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: and like big ones.

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: She didn't do it like it's that's crazy, it's crazy,

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: Like why are we doing that? It's so funny. My

85
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: friend had she used to build Legos a lot, and

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: she had a big taj mahal in her room and

87
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: I dropped it on accident, and I was like, but

88
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: the good thing about Legos you could just rebuild it.

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: You just put it back together. Bridge.

90
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: If one of the piece of spalls underneath the bed,

91
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: you are going to be sick.

92
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: My mom used to love doing puzzles, and I'm like,

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: puzzles are fun, but you we always are missing a

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: piece and it ruins everything.

95
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, building a lego is more fun

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: to me.

97
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Than building a puzzle because you don't really have anything

98
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: to show for a puzzle. A puzzle is so big

99
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: and like clunky. You can't just like leave a puzzle

100
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: on your coffee table forever.

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: But if you build the tall lego, like yeah and

102
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: show the world.

103
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: But sometimes you I mean, what do people people like

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: tape their puzzles and like frame them sometimes. Oh, I've

105
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: always wanted to have like a puzzle table, like you

106
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: know those glass tables. I've always wanted to like make

107
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: like put finished puzzles and make like a table in

108
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: my future you know home where I have like a

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: little game room or the kids room and just have

110
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: like a little glass table with the puzzles in it.

111
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: That's That's something that I've always liked. But Christmas time

112
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: as an adult, even in La La is not very

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: la is not very festive guys at all. Actually, like

114
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: it does not feel like the Holidays here whatsoever. It's

115
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: eighty degrees outside and I say that. I say that

116
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: as I have a beanie on my head right now,

117
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: but that's because my hair is messed up right now.

118
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, let me check it is. I just went

119
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: outside and walked Cannon. Yeah, it's going to be seventy

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 4: seven today.

121
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like hot Christmas. I went to the

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: Christmas market this week. Atlanta's so weird though, because I

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: went to the Chrismas market this weekend and it was

124
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: seventy degrees and right now we having a cold front.

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: It literally feels like it's one of the outside.

126
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: It's really I don't like the cold. I think I'm

127
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: I could never live in somewhere where it's snows. I

128
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: just don't think I could do it now. After living

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: in LA for so long, I don't think I can

130
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: go back. I don't think I can.

131
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: I could, but not like Chicago fold but like I

132
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: can do New York, I can do here. The thing

133
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: about here is I feel like our weather mirror is

134
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: New York weather a lot, which a lot of people

135
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: don't know climate change. It just looks colder every year,

136
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: but we don't have snow, and I feel when there's

137
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 2: no snow, it's.

138
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: Just cold, but snow was so annoying. It just gets

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: in the way of everything. Were you in Atlanta that

140
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 4: year it snowed?

141
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes? How could I ever forget Snowmageddon when people were

142
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: stuck on the highway for three days?

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: What year was this? I was a I was a

144
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: sophomore or junior in high school. Maybe junior in high school,

145
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: I can't remember, but it was right after Christmas Break,

146
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: I think, So we had just come back from Christmas

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: Break and then it was snowed, and then we were

148
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: off another week because Atlanta's not built for snow, so

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: we were off for a whole additional week. And then

150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: you know, they get you back later, like we didn't

151
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: have like we have like winter break or something. They

152
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: took that away. They're like, y'all already had your winter break.

153
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: You're staying in school. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: that's what happened. But I remember like the whole city

155
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: shut down because it was so much snow, so we

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: didn't have school for like a week, so you know,

157
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040

00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: do have the section of the restaurant where you can

315
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: over there.

00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: give me my food. Do you do you eat while

320
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: it comes out or you wait till it's all done.

321
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: I wait till it's done.

322
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: Oh no, baby. Every time it's like an empty place.

323
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll leave like a little bit but it depends

324
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: on how hungry I am, because sometimes, like when the

325
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: vegetables come out, the zucchini girl, the zucchini so girls.

326
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: Together, so I have to have it all the same time.

327
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: I didn't get my rice and my meat and my

328
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: vegetables all the same.

329
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: Oh, so you're cool with all your food touching or

330
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: is this just a haibachi thing?

331
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:39,640

00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

336
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: I feel like if you're eating, people really are very

337
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: anal about their food not touching, and I always thought

338
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: those people were strange. No disrespect to these people.

339
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: Did you have an ELF?

340
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: I didn't when I was growing up, but my youngest

341
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: we did it for our younger siblings. And I love

342
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: ELF on the shelf. I cannot wait to have children.

343
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: I cannot wait to have kids.

344
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: And she's a black girl, a black queen. This is my.

345
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: I have a gnome. I have a I have a

346
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: Christmas gnome by my door, by my front door. I had.

347
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: I have a Christmas nome and a Halloween nome. So

348
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: he's over there at the front door chilling. But the

349
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: parents with the elf on the shelf. We're like the

350
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: most unseious generation of parents, like people my age. Like,

351
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: I saw the clips I've been seeing on socials with

352
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: people with their elves have been cracking me up. I'm like,

353
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: what is like? How do y'all think of this? Like

354
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: I saw someone put the elf on they had a

355
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: mixer and they had the elf the mixture. Yes, I'm like,

356
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: what is wrong?

357
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: My favorite is the Chicken Bones where the elf dies.

358
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 4: And the kids be so sad. Do you see did

359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 4: you see the one where they cut up the girl's pajamas?

360
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: Noe?

361
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, she like cut up her daughter's pajamas, her blue

362
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: You know, babies do not play about Bluey. I don't

363
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: know who is they do not play about Bluey. But anyway,

364
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 4: the mom cut up her pajamas and she was so upset.

365
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: I kind of felt bad. I don't really like that

366
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 4: one that much because I'm like, why are you cutting

367
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 4: your children's clothes? That's weird.

368
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 2: The ELpH isn't supposed to bring them like sorrow, Like

369
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: the woman with the Chicken bones did that because she

370
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: touched that she broke the rules.

371
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: But right, yeah, the elves are terrorizing these poor children.

372
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: How about when they put the broken screen on the

373
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: iPads and TVs, like the elf broken. Oh my gosh,

374
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: that's so funny. Like people are doing the absolute most

375
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: and I'm right, I'm favoriting and saving. I said, you

376
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: know what, I'm going to have an ELF and my mom.

377
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 4: I was looking at my mom. I said, we did

378
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 4: not do our my siblings. We didn't. We didn't do

379
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: this right for them because all my mom did was

380
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 4: just move him. It's from this part of the house

381
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: to that part of the house. But they like to

382
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: find them very simple, very boring. But we didn't know better.

383
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: On the cabinet, that's it I'm saying.

384
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: But that's what the instructions say. Just hide him. Like

385
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: I didn't know that he could terrorize the house and

386
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: terrorize the kids.

387
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: We didn't have social media, so it was different, Like, yeah,

388
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: there he is being shared.

389
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, these parents are going crazy about Elf on the shelf,

390
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 4: and I cannot wait to terrorize my kids.

391
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: I can't wait for all that. I can't wait for,

392
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,639
